This.

or did you guys forget about the rest of the forum


How are we supposed to have actual content in our simple avatar ratings in Forum Games? Our "I'm leaving for Nebraskas"? Our "Hillary's gone nuts"? Our "this is mae star trek lizard drawing PLZ RATE"? Off-topic, and RT, is pretty much the only place that warrants content like that. You expect us to put funny crap in the How ya feeling thread?

That would have worked for about three pages and then it would be back to what it was before.

Then just kill it entirely forever, or remove the post count qualifiers on it if you think it's such an epidemic.

Since when did the RT become serious business. Is this forum seriously this nitpicky?

Ace, post in RT like crazy.

Or you could bring RT back.

I hate the rest of the forum. It's all video games and crap.

Do people still care about post count.

That would cause gigantic post count erasing and people would get all po'd and rant for two months like last time

um what

They're both saying people would get po'd over post count. "I'm sure there's somebody somewhere" means "Yes"

I don't really care about post count all that much but people would still go nuts like when they started randomly dropping a few months ago

Hmm...I wonder what ModSpam will go on in the thread during its vacation to the Mod Forum. :P


But like I said earlier, just remember to take this as an experiment; Random Thoughts was actually doing okay (even though some of the random thoughts went off the assumption of random = funny), and the "Gentleman" thing was basically like many of the other pages of posts on a subject we've done in there in the past (i.e. Starfox quotes and song lyrics).


Oh, and I need Random Thoughts so mods can move my posts from there into the Disktionary for more space. :P

Seriously though how are we supposed to please you and get "good content" if we have nowhere to post said content?

This "plan" sure was thought-out well

Create new threads, I guess. Or post in other existing threads? RT isn't the end-all be-all. Just the suck-all. Don't get me wrong, I think it should be back, or a version of it for people to dump.

That would more or less by Random Thoughts 3.0 which is against the "rules" established by the sticky

I know it's not the end-all, but the content that fits in RT doesn't fit anywhere else.

i.e. You can't create a thread to be a catch-all of everything. You have to create specifics. (whatever. nitpick nitpick, fuss fuss)

It's really more of a "discussion" thread or, like, a thread about the forum. It's not just an all-encompassing thread.

I'm curious to see my post count without it, actually.

Knowing all of the issues that this Forum has gone through with post count errors, it probably wouldn't be accurate at all.

EDIT: It'd probably show up under "Most Active Topic" in your profile with the number of posts, as well.

EDIT: You have made 344 posts there.

Alright everyone, it's back up in OSD, but it's stickied and locked. We've made our remarks on it, but everyone seriously needs to take several steps back from this and realize that this is really about not much.

Hey, thanks Disky! That's all? Not a drop in the bucket at all, for me. :)

I'm with you on that, but I had a couple of other alternative ideas-- Oh, why do I bother. Dangit you people, hear me! *hit fist against glass ceiling*

I don't really see too people mad about this, though. Maybe a bit upset over the change, but nothing that needs backing upping steppings from.

You've probably made more than that--that's just the number within your profile. There's probably a few posts that involved you that were moved out of the topic.


Oh, and Mike's script is taking longer than I expected. I guess I have to feed him a bit more than table scraps...

There's an entire sub-forum for off-subject discussion.

We knew this would happen. You guys are so addicted to that thread. That's why we had all the "BAWWWWWWW" when it got locked.
